Would car type airbags be useful on airliners?
Since airliners carry lifejackets but not parachutes, passengers and crew have to stay with them until they crash if something goes wrong. This being the case, would automobile style airbags (and maybe even car style seat belts instead of just the lap belt) be useful in reducing impact related injuries in airline crashes? Reducing impact-caused injuries would also help survivors be more able to subsequently evacuate the aircraft (see for example
http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/reports/air/studies/sa9401...
which says that some survivors of seaplane crashes drown because they are injured in the crash and can't get out).

Yes you are absolutely right. Maybe they should make them something you can buy at a kiosk just outside the loading gate and they'd snap on to the seat back ahead of you.
